Honor to Whom Honor is Due.

Mr.. EDITOR:-We notice that the eight
ieth annual commencement of the "Uniyer-
sity of Maryland" was held at the AcaI-
emy of Music in the city of Baltimore on
the 22nd inst.
The graduating class in the department
of medicine for the year 1887, numbered
1O4 members out of which so graduated
and IA were weighed in the balance and
found wanting.
Among the 80 successful competitors for
the "parchment' we notice representative
from upper Cecil. John H. Jenness of
West Nottingham, and not only is his
name to he noticed there bul mark the fact
that among class of ninety successful STU
dents he stood No. on the list in the order
of honorable mention, having passed such an
examination that but two ranked above him
and they were three year students while
Dr.. Jenness was one of the two year stu
dents.
This young man is the son of Samuel J.
Jenness. the we'll known and obliging jan
1tor of West Nottingham Presbyterian
Church during the last eighteen years, who
has made noble effort in moderate circum
stances to give his son profession.
Some four years ago this young man,
when about 20 years of age, commenced
teaching school and reading medicine
continuing thus for the space of two years
he entered the University at Baltimore and
confined his attention since that time to
the requirements of his profession alone, inn

The team of MIR Jno. Clayton of
B. NJ. House, while standing in front
of w. j. Ankrlm's store on Saturday,
became frightened and ran down
Cherry street, and came in contact
with hitching po't in front of the

of the younfi shade trees which held
them till they were secured by per-

tree was pretty badly barked, and
one of the wagon wheels broken.
One of the horses received some in
jury in the breast by contact with the

The Birds.

The spring birds are coming, and
the notes of the blackbird, the blue
bird and robin are heard among the
leafess branches, selecting the
boughs on which to build their mar
velous nests. These birds are among
the farmers best friends. Even the
robin which is great cherry and
berry thief destroys countless mum
bers of insects while feeding its
young. All birds must use insect
food for their brood while it is in the
nest. The blsckbird is a great in
>ect hunter and the orchard and lawn
trees are favorite places for their
nesting. Farmers and other idle boys
wontonly kill a great many of these
most useful birds, and some farmers
even in this enlightened age complain
of the blackbird pulling up the young
corn. Birds pull up very little corn.
The injury which they do the farmer
in this way is recompensed thous-
and fold by the insects they destroy
and advantaga the orchards and crops
derive from the presence of numer-
Gus birds is not easily computed.
Do not low boys and idle tramps to
shoet the birds or frighten them by
firing guns in the vicinity of their
nesting places. Year after year they
will return to build their nests IN the
same groves if not molested.
The English sparrow is a real pest
and should be exterminated if it
were possible.

Prominent"
A MEMBER.

Some ofour public spirited farmers
might offer premium at the fall
fair for one of their guild who has
prominent as prefix or title to
his name. We observe there are no
lawyers, doctors or merchants in our
county capital who are not "promi-
nent" members of their class. Come
farmers, brush up and search for one
'prominent' man among you all.
We hear of respectable farmers,
influential farmers, public spirited
farmers and some times even an.
telligemt farmers" but none of them
apparently have reached that mole
American aristocratlc distinction,
"prOminent."

Three Cheers for our Cancer Doctor.

Three Cheers for our Cancer Doctor.
The following is from the Whining
ton Republican. 1t will be remembered
that we published an account of the
case at the time the case was treated.
Thorn, Colmary, a teamster of New
ark, has had very aggravated cancer
on the tongue, and his suffering was
intense, the whole top Of the tongue
being affected. DR.. Jas. E. Haines of
Rising Sun, Cecil co. Nd, being called
upon, treated the case successfully, but
a correspondent to the Euery Euening
says, the remedy is quite as heoric as
the endurance of the painful disease,
for his tongue had to protude from
the mouth in order that a poisonous
drug preparation may be kept upon it
and he also said that the least drop of
this takeE internally would kill the
patient.
E w. Haines of Newark Del an un
Gle of the doctor, feeling that the state
ment did not do full justice to his
nephew writes and says the Newark
correspondent labored under mistake
There was no protusion of the tongue
since the first day of the operation, and
no poisonous drug was used. The plas :
ers used never attack healty flesh or
anything other than cancerous matter.
This was, however, bad case and
thought by leading Philadelphia sur
geon to be incurable unless bv the re
moval of the entire,tongue, The plast-
ers were put on at the home of DR..
Haines for three hours. at 3 a'c cOck on
Monday, Feb 2Sth, and the same even
ing Mr.. Colmary returned to his home
in Newark and the piasters have new
er been on since, neither has he suffer-
ed greatly. On Sunday evening the
9th inst, the cancer came off, just six
days after the operation-without the
loss of drop of blood much less the
entire tongue. I have just returned
from visit to MIR Culinary. Pe is
cheerful, talks freely, is looking and
feeling every way like getting along
all right, and from present ap pear ance
likely to be another of the many to
whom Mr. Haines can refer as instances
of his marvellous success in this direct
ion.

We received the following unique
letter this week, evidently from ma
tive Cecil Countian, which contains
so much of the Erin for ever! in it's
make up it is too good to be lost.
Some of our readers will doubtless
remember the writer. To change the
phraseology would spoil the letter,
and we give it about as the writer
penned it.
Rockville, Md. March, II, 1887.
Mr.. ED1ToR:- This day comes to me a
twofold chorister, a native holiday and
birthday, as I place this little shamrock on
nv hat; this fair little shamrock! this ever
green shamrock; the 61st shamrock; placed
in nv hat on the anniversary Of my birth
day. 1 was born on ''St. Patrick's Day in
the morning." 1926. My father placed the
first one on my head and dafodil in full
bloom in my hand. plucked from garden

occupied by Miss Anga Egan, near hislng
Sun, Cecil Co., Md. But once has one been
found in the same latitude in open air for
fifty years. The day has been blustry and
sometimes stormy, with winds to tell me
one more year is gone;.one less to come.
Well may the poet sing:
'.Blow. freely. ye winds of March,
And wave ye banners fair.
And peal ye joyous trumpet note
Through all the sunny a'r.
Be glad, ye hearts of valient mon,
Ye rosy maidens smile.
And welcome back to memory
The saints of old Erins Isle.
While Erin like stone shall rise
Above the gloom of ages,
And saints who people now the skies
Shall bless her brave and sages.
Her ancient harp attuned again
Shall no more breathe in sadness,
But In its loud exulting strain
The world will join with gladness.
Yours Truly, not Patrick, but

Aldac F. Walker, of Vermont. for the
term of three years.

The fact that Mr.. Cooley's name

of the men con- mprising the commission.

regents as commissioner to organize
the law department of the University
of Michigan, and he has ever since
been connected with it. In 1854 he was
elected Justice of the supreme Court,
and was reelected in 1869, and in 1877
he was nominated by the Republicans
for reelection in 1885, and was defeat

Forty-ninth Illinois Regiment in the
war of the rebellion. Mr.. Morrison
served in the Illinois Legislature from
1854 till 1860, and was elected to Con-
gress in 1862. Being defeated for Con-
gress in 1864 and 1866. he served again
in 1901. and was again elected to
Congress in 1872 and 1874. He was for
hard money and free trade and was
made Chairman of the Ways ond Means
Committee by Speaker Kerr in 1875.
Since then he has been conspicuous
advocate in Congress of reduction of
tatiff duties, and in the Forty-eight
Congress having been made chairman
of the Ways and Means committee by
Speaker Carlisle, Mr. Morrison intro
duced and championed en- the floor his
famous :horrizontal reducuon bill

Teachers should acquaint themselves
with the school law before attempting to
teach. For the benefit of one who seems not
to be posted, we state here from legal author
ity, that a pupil cannot be enrolled in two
schools for the same term. The first school
is the ouly one to legally enroll that pupil

in this direction may be avoided, since it
cannot add 10 either the profits, or reputa-
